In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this activity (p.26 of PDF), learners discover why mushrooms have spots. Learners use a balloon, toilet paper, and water to simulate what happens as mushrooms grow.
